Leather over tips, nicely rebacked leather spine, four gilt fleurs-de-lis to spine, nicely gilt-tooled title to spine. Marbled page edges all around, moderately toned of interior, but clean, unmarked, tightly bound. xxiii [1], 2-176 pp, [ii], xi, [11], 18-127 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
